Have you seen any visitors in church over Christmas?

The wise men travelled from the east. They were searching for the new born baby because it was important to them to come and visit Jesus.

When they found Jesus, they were full of wonder. They didn't say anything but they knelt and worshipped him.

Sometimes actions speak louder than words!

What language do you speak?

Most people in the UK speak English, but there are lots of other languages spoken here.

Do you know anyone who speaks Welsh or Gaelic or Cornish? These are some of our native languages which few people still speak.

There are over seven thousand different languages spoken in the world. The language spoken by the most people is Mandarin Chinese.

Some languages are in danger of being forgotten or lost because no-one speaks or understands them any more.

This year the United Nations is highlighting these languages. They are a way of telling about a people's customs, knowledge, memories and history. They help us understand each other.

What's yours?

For many Twelfth Night on 5th January marks the very end of Christmas. People take down all their decorations.

Sometimes it's celebrated with a party. Traditionally it's time to Wassail.

This is an ancient toast wishing a person good health. A large bowl of warm spiced drink is passed from person to person with the exchange of the word "wassail".

Wassailing also takes place in orchards as a blessing on the fruit trees particularly apples. As well as drinks and food, songs are sung - and there's a lot of noise!
